On September I J Cipl.im FronoMit' pnrty ohlnined l he in -it view of the object of their anxiuusj scurcli, tlie (Jrent Null Lake : Thc waters of ihe Inland Sen, stretching instill nnd solitary rrrandour far beyond the limit of our vision. It was one of ihe great points of the exploration; and, n we lookod eagerly over the lake in the first emotions of excited pleasure, I am doubtful if the followers of nmnSM felt more enthusiasm when, from the heights of the Andes, they saw for the first time tin? great WVstrrn ocenn. It was certainly a magiiihcent object, and a noble terminus to tins part ol our exiedition ; and to travellers so long shut up among mountain ranges, a sudden view over the expanse of silent w aters had in it eotnelhing etib-limc. Several large islands raised their high rooky heads out of the waves; but whether or not they were timbered was still left to our imagination, ai the distance was too great to determine if the dark hues upon them were woodland or naked rock. During tlie day the clouiils had been gathering black over the mountains to the westward, and, while we were looking, a storro buret down with sudden fury upon the lake, end entirely hid the islands from our view. So far aa we could see, along the ehoree there wae not a eohtary tree, and hut little appearance of gram; and on Weber's fork, n few miles b low our laet encampment, the timber was gathered into groves, and then diaeppean-d entirely." The voyage on the lake nnd the preliminary tn-ticipatione are thus graphically desvribed: With Mr. Premce nnd myself, Careen, Bemier, and Basil jajeumc, had been selected for the boat expedition the first ever attempted on this interior era; nnd Badeau, with Iferoeier, and Jacob (the colored man) were to be left in charge of the camp. We were favored with moot delightful weather. Tonight there wee a brilliant mineet of golden orange end green, which left the western eky clear and beautifully pure ; bot clonde in the east made me I owe an occultetion. The summer frogs were singing around ua, and the evening was very pleasant, with a temperature of ) deg & night uf a more southern autumn For our supper wc hud jrinwt, the most agreeably llavored of the roots, seasoned hy n small fat duck, which had come in lhe way of Jacob's nllc. Around our lire to-night were many speculations on what to -morrow would bring forth, and in our busy conjectures we fancied that we should find every one of the large UUndl a tangled wilderness of trees anil shrubbery, leomiog with game of every description that the neighboring region n Horded, and which the foot of a white man or Indian had never violated. Frequently during the day clouds had rested on the summits of their lofty mountains, and we believed thut we should Hud Cjvot streams nnd springs of frweh water; nnd we indulged in inUolpotiotM of the luxurious repasts with which wc wore to Indemnify ourselves for past privutions. Neither, in our discussions were the whirlpool nnil other mysterious dangers forgotten, w hich Indian nnd hunter's stories httllbtlted to this unexplored lake. The men had discovered that, instead of being slrongly sewed, (like that of the preceding year, which had so triumphantly rode the canons of the Upper Qrttl Platte,) cur present boat ernl enly pasted together in a very insecure manner, the maker having been allowed so little time iu the construction, that he wns obliged to crowd the hihor of two months into several day. The insecurity of the bout was sensibly fell by us; and, mingled with the enthusiasm and excitement that wo nil felt at the prospect of nn undertaking which had never before been accomplished, wns I certain impression of danger, sutlicienl to give serious character to our conversation. The momentary view which had been had of the Inke ihe dny before, its great extent and rugged islands, dimly seen timidst the dark waters in the obscurity of the sudden storm, were well calculated to heighten the idem of undefined danger with which the lake was generally associated. " Stfttemlxr 8. A enhn, clear day, with a sunrise temperature of 41. In view id' our present enterprise, n part of the equipment of the boat had been uiiili: to consist in three nir-light hags, about three feet long, nnil capable each of containing live gallons. These had been filled with water the night before, and were now placed in the bint, with our blankets and instruments, consisting of n sextant, telescope, spy glass, thermometer, and barometer. "On SipUmhtr 0 thi day was clear nnd calm; the thermometer ut sunrise at 41. As is usual with the trappers on the eve of any enterprise, our people had made dreams, and theirs happened to he a had one one which always preceded evil and consequently they looked very gloomy this morning', but Wl hurried through our breakfast in order to make nn early start, and have all thu day before us for our adventure. The channel In u short distance became so shallow that our navigation was nt nn end, being merely a sheet of soft mud, with I few inches of wn-ter, and somot men none at nil, forming the low water shore of the lake. All this place was nbsolutely covered with (locks of screaming plover. We took otf our clothes, nnd, getting overboard, commenced dragging the boat making by ibis OpentrOn i very curious trail, and n very disagreeable mik-H in slirring up the mud, as we sank above the knee ut every step. The wntcr hern was still fresh, with only an insipid ami disagreeable taste, probably derived from the bod of fetid mud. Aller proceeding in this wny nhout a mile we enme to a small black rulge on the bottom, beyond which the water became suddenly salt, beginning gradually to deepen, and the bottom wns sandy nnd linn. It wns a remarknblu division, separating the fresh water of ihe rivers from the briny water of the luke, which wns entirely satumtai with common salt. Pushing our little vessel across the narrow boundary, we sprang on board, and were at length alloat on the wutersof the unknown sea. "Wc did not steer for the mountainous islan m, but directed our course towards n lower one, which it had been decided we should lirst visit, ihe summit of which was formed like the crater at (he upper end of Hear river valley. So long ns we could touch the buttiUII with our paddles we were very gay; but , gradually, us the water deeptned, we became more Mill in our frail batteuii of gum cloth distended with air and with pasted scatns. Athongh the day was 1 very calm there was considerable swell on the lake, IM there were white palches of foam on the surface I which were slowly moving to ihe southward, indicating the set of a current in that direction, and re calling the iccollection ot the whirlpool stones. The water continued to deepen as we ndvnnced, the lake becoming nlmost transparently clear, of an extremely beautiful bright green color; nnd the spray, which was thrown into the boat and over our clothes, was directly converted into a crust ol common salt, which covered nlso our hands and nrms. H'aptain,' siid Carson who for some time bail been looking sus piciously at some whitening appearances outside the 1 nearest islands, 'what are those tinner.' won I you just take a look with the glass!-' We ceased pad tiling for a moment, nnd found them to be the caps of the waves that were beginning to brenk under ihe force of a strong breeze that was coming up the lake. 'Die form of the boat seemtd tube an admir able one, nnd it rode on the wnves like a water-bird; 1 but nt the same time it wns extremely slow in its progress. When we were a little mere than half way across the reach two of the divisions between the cylinders gave way, nud it reipnred the consUnt use of the bellows to keep iu a sufficient quantity of air. For a long time we scarcely seemed to approach our island, but gradually we worked across the rougher sea of the open channel into the smoother water under the lee of the island; nnd began to discover that what we tooK for along row of pelicans ranged on the beach wero only low clifts whitened with salt by the spray of the waves; and about noon w c reached the shore, the transparency of the water enabling us to see tlie bottom at a considerable depth. 'lt was a handsome broad bench where we landed, behind which the hill, into which the island was gathered, rose somewhat abruptly; and a point of rock at one end enclosed it in nsneitering wny; and, as there was an abundance of drift wood along the shore, it offered us a pleasant encampment. We did not suffer our fragile hint to touch the sharp rocks; but getting overboard, discharged the baggage, and, lifting it gently out nf the water, carried it to the upper part of the beach, which was composed of very small fragments of rocks." "Carrying with us the barometer and other instruments, in the afternoon we ascended to the highest point of the island a bare rocky peak, eight hundred feet above the lake. Standing on the summit, wc en joyed an extended view of the lake, enclosed in a basin of nigged mountains, which sometimes left marshy rials and extensive bottoms between them and tlie shore, and in other places came directly down into the water with bold and precipitous bluffs. Following with our glasses the irregular shores, we searched for some indications of u commuiiicntion with other bodies of water, or the entrance of other rivers, but the distance wus so great thut we could make OUt nothing with certainty. To the southward, several peninsular mountuins, three Of four thousand feet high, entered the luke, appearing so far as the distance and our position enabled uu to determine, to he connected by flats nnd low ridges with the mountains iu the rear. Although these nre pruba-hy ihe islands usually indicated on maps of this region ns entirely detuched fnun the shore, we have preferred to represent them, iu the small map on the preceding page, precisely ns we were enabled to sketch them on the ground, leaving their more complete delineation for u future survey. The sketch of w hich the scale is nearly sixteen miles to an inch, is introduced only to show clearly the extent of our operations, which, it will be remembered, w ere made when the waters M ere at their lowest stage. At the season of high waters in the spring, it is probable that nil the marshes and low grounds nre overflowed, utitl the surface of the lake considerably grcut-cr. In several pllOSjiwhlch will be indicated to you in the sketch by the absence of the bordering mountains) tbe view was of unlimited extent here and there a rocky islet appearing above the wntcr nt a greet diaUnoetind beyond, every thing was vague and undefined. As wc looked over the vast expanse of water spread out beneath us, and strnined our eyes along the silent shores over which hung so much doubt and uncertainty, nud which were so full of interest to us, I could hardly repress the almost irresistible desire to continue our cxplorution; but the lengthening tmow on thu mountains was a plain indication of the advancing season, and our Irnil linen boat appeared so insecure that I wns unwilling to trust our lives to the uncertainties of the hike. 1 theref re unwillingly resolved to lenninnte our survey here, and remain satisfied for the present wild what we had been able to add to the unknown geography of the region. We felt pleasure also in remembering Ihtt ari were the first who, in the traditionary annuls of the country, had visited the islands, and broken, with the cheerful sound of human voices, the long solitude of the place. From the point where we were standing the ground fell off on every side to the water, giving us u perfect view of the island, which is twelve or thirteen miles in circumference, being simply a rocky hill, on which there is neither water nor trees of nny kind." "At sunset, the temperature wns 70 dog. Wc had arrived just in timd to obtain u meridian altitude of the sun, and other observations were obtained this evcniugw hic.h places our cunip in latitude 41 deg. 11) mill. 49tftti ami longitude 11,' deg. JI nun. 05 sec. from (ireenwich. From a discussion of the barometrical observations made during our slay on the shores of the lake, we have adopted 4,00 feet for its elevation 1001 the Gulf of Mexico. In the first disappointment we felt from the dissipation of our dream of the fertile island, 1 called this Diwp-puwtmrni hlnuit. Out of the drit wood, we made ourselves plcns-nnt little lodges, open to the wnter, nnd, after having kindled large fires to excite the wonder of any straggling savage on the lake shores, lay down for the jnvt UUM iu a long journey in perfect security; no MM thinking about Jus nrms. Tho evening wns extremely bright nnd pleasanl; but tho winds rose during lli night, and the waves began to break heavily on the shore, mnking our islnnd tremble. I had not expected in our inland journey to heur the roir of an ocean surf; and the strangeness of oursit- unlion, nud the excitement wc felt iu ihe associated interest of the place, mado this one of the most interesting nights I remember during our long expedition." Illir(lnr UmuihI. The Miami Valley is filled with burglars. We hear of the, ts, grcnt and small, almost every week. We ndvise our friends, in town and country, to keep n sharp lookout for these gentry, und night and day be prepared to give ihcm a wnrm reception. Two or three w eeks ngo, nn old innn, residing on the Mid-dletown rond, by the name of Fearin, was knocked down by two scoundrels just after sundown, and robbed of .l,.r0; the proceeds of two day's work in the heilfnt flnli. The town of Franklin has also been visited hy these light fingered fellows. Attempts have been ninde, will) but poor success, to rob Messrs. Hurst & Thirkield; but our friend, Dr. I). Baird, has not fnred tpiitc so well. Sometime between the 99th; of May nnd the middle of August a hundred dollar hill on the Commercial Hank of Pennsylvania wns purloined from bis drawer. To the best nf his recollection, it wns marked wilh the letter A. and numbered 1072. If the thief has parted with it, f)r. Ilaird oilers the bill to its present holder, and J'i5 in addition, r.'.V on condition, that such measures shall he taken ns shnll discover and bring to justice the perpetrator of the theft. The Dr. is not absolutely certain that the bill wns mnrked as staled; he, therefore, requests all who possess bills of the denomination of 31()0 on that bank, or who may receive ihem, to examine their marks nnd trace their circulation, in hope that detection may take place. Our brother editors generally and especially in Cincinnati, Louisville, Pittsburgh nnd Columbus are requested to copy the above notice. Ltb. S7or. Dkuua WF.BSTF.n.

The receipts at tide-water last season were nearly eight million pounds; rained It 93,439900. Of tho total so received 1,907,900 lbs. were entered nt Whitehall, on tlieChauipl&in canal, nnd were doubtless the product of Vermont. The residue was from the western portion of the Stale.

Those nre the principal points of export, hut there are several others, some in Ohio and others beyond, which send olf considerable Wool annually, that have failed to note it. The quantity that went Baft through tho Wellnnd canal last year, was 30,000 lea. The canal export from Oswego in 1844 was 187,204 lbs. against 78,720 lbs. in 1843. The amount plaeed opposite to Cleveland is perhaps below the actual quantity shipped, as it is known that a very considerable portion of tho woo exported from that ploce is uiude up of fleeces brought ill by farmer, nnd such as is taken from the pelts tbero, by manufacturers. The figures nbove represent tho quantity arriving by canal there : 1,000,006 Iba. would perhaps approximate to the real amount exported from Cleveland last season, and 500,000 lbs. in 1843 with 250,000 lbs. for 4842. In analyzing the movements of this commodity, there are but three points lo which attention ia directed, where the clip of foreign Statea enter in competition with the product of this State, viz: Whitehall, Oswego, and this place. The extent of shipmenls from these points for the pnst thrco years, exhibits the nuiiexcd mnrked increase : 1842. 184a 1844.

This vase was presented to the British Museum, nnd was opened in tho presence of several antiquarians; but it contained only a smnll quantity of dust nnd a few seeds, among winch were pens, vetches, nnd wheat. Three of tho pens were presented 1 1 Air. (irimstonc, by T. J. I'et-ligrcw, who kept the pens by him until 1844 when, having purchnscd the Uerbary at Ilighgnte, lie set them iu a pot of composite. The pea soon sprang from its three thousand yenr old trance inlo vegetable life, but yellow, as if it had been jaundiced wiOl n diseased liver. This yellow nppcarancc, arose no doubt, from its being conduct! in a hot frame. When it Iih.I attained sufficient height, it was carefully transplanted into the open garden ; the stock thrived, blosfnnie.l, and, in August last, Mr. (Irimstonc harvested lifly-five seeds frem its pods. These fifty-five peas have been planted Ibis yenr, and all of them have thrown up their stems, their blossoma and their pods, nnd again give hope for nn abundant incrensc. This iea has many peculiarities, one of which is, that the pod projects through the blossom, leaving the latter behind it, while the generality of peas push, or rather carry olf the blossom at the tip of their pods. Mr. Griinstono waa offered, last year. twenty pounds for twenty of thcae peas, which ho reluse.l to accept, prelernng rainer lo multiply man sell. The bloom of this pea is while and of a bell form; that of our pea having wings eomcthing liko those of a butterfly. A visit to Mr. Grimstone'a bcrbary to soe this production from the antiquated Egyptian grandfather pea is well worth the trouble. It is said that the river Oregon derives its nnmo from ortgwno, a Spanish word, signifying pennyroyal, which grows ingrent abundnnce on the banks. As nature never acts without design, it is altogether proper to assume that her design in covering tho banks of the Oregon with pennyroyal was to afford to iersons, who might be so indiscreet as to take up their residence in that pnrt of Ihe world, a cure for the bitei of gnats, musquitoea, Il ml gnllintppers, to which they will be eminently liable. ton.

On September I J Cipl.im FronoMit' pnrty ohlnined l he in -it view of the object of their anxiuusj scurcli, tlie (Jrent Null Lake : Thc waters of ihe Inland Sen, stretching instill nnd solitary rrrandour far beyond the limit of our vision. It was one of ihe great points of the exploration; and, n we lookod eagerly over the lake in the first emotions of excited pleasure, I am doubtful if the followers of nmnSM felt more enthusiasm when, from the heights of the Andes, they saw for the first time tin? great WVstrrn ocenn. It was certainly a magiiihcent object, and a noble terminus to tins part ol our exiedition ; and to travellers so long shut up among mountain ranges, a sudden view over the expanse of silent w aters had in it eotnelhing etib-limc. Several large islands raised their high rooky heads out of the waves; but whether or not they were timbered was still left to our imagination, ai the distance was too great to determine if the dark hues upon them were woodland or naked rock. During tlie day the clouiils had been gathering black over the mountains to the westward, and, while we were looking, a storro buret down with sudden fury upon the lake, end entirely hid the islands from our view. So far aa we could see, along the ehoree there wae not a eohtary tree, and hut little appearance of gram; and on Weber's fork, n few miles b low our laet encampment, the timber was gathered into groves, and then diaeppean-d entirely." The voyage on the lake nnd the preliminary tn-ticipatione are thus graphically desvribed: With Mr. Premce nnd myself, Careen, Bemier, and Basil jajeumc, had been selected for the boat expedition the first ever attempted on this interior era; nnd Badeau, with Iferoeier, and Jacob (the colored man) were to be left in charge of the camp. We were favored with moot delightful weather. Tonight there wee a brilliant mineet of golden orange end green, which left the western eky clear and beautifully pure ; bot clonde in the east made me I owe an occultetion. The summer frogs were singing around ua, and the evening was very pleasant, with a temperature of ) deg & night uf a more southern autumn For our supper wc hud jrinwt, the most agreeably llavored of the roots, seasoned hy n small fat duck, which had come in lhe way of Jacob's nllc. Around our lire to-night were many speculations on what to -morrow would bring forth, and in our busy conjectures we fancied that we should find every one of the large UUndl a tangled wilderness of trees anil shrubbery, leomiog with game of every description that the neighboring region n Horded, and which the foot of a white man or Indian had never violated. Frequently during the day clouds had rested on the summits of their lofty mountains, and we believed thut we should Hud Cjvot streams nnd springs of frweh water; nnd we indulged in inUolpotiotM of the luxurious repasts with which wc wore to Indemnify ourselves for past privutions. Neither, in our discussions were the whirlpool nnil other mysterious dangers forgotten, w hich Indian nnd hunter's stories httllbtlted to this unexplored lake. The men had discovered that, instead of being slrongly sewed, (like that of the preceding year, which had so triumphantly rode the canons of the Upper Qrttl Platte,) cur present boat ernl enly pasted together in a very insecure manner, the maker having been allowed so little time iu the construction, that he wns obliged to crowd the hihor of two months into several day. The insecurity of the bout was sensibly fell by us; and, mingled with the enthusiasm and excitement that wo nil felt at the prospect of nn undertaking which had never before been accomplished, wns I certain impression of danger, sutlicienl to give serious character to our conversation. The momentary view which had been had of the Inke ihe dny before, its great extent and rugged islands, dimly seen timidst the dark waters in the obscurity of the sudden storm, were well calculated to heighten the idem of undefined danger with which the lake was generally associated. " Stfttemlxr 8. A enhn, clear day, with a sunrise temperature of 41. In view id' our present enterprise, n part of the equipment of the boat had been uiiili: to consist in three nir-light hags, about three feet long, nnil capable each of containing live gallons. These had been filled with water the night before, and were now placed in the bint, with our blankets and instruments, consisting of n sextant, telescope, spy glass, thermometer, and barometer. "On SipUmhtr 0 thi day was clear nnd calm; the thermometer ut sunrise at 41. As is usual with the trappers on the eve of any enterprise, our people had made dreams, and theirs happened to he a had one one which always preceded evil and consequently they looked very gloomy this morning', but Wl hurried through our breakfast in order to make nn early start, and have all thu day before us for our adventure. The channel In u short distance became so shallow that our navigation was nt nn end, being merely a sheet of soft mud, with I few inches of wn-ter, and somot men none at nil, forming the low water shore of the lake. All this place was nbsolutely covered with (locks of screaming plover. We took otf our clothes, nnd, getting overboard, commenced dragging the boat making by ibis OpentrOn i very curious trail, and n very disagreeable mik-H in slirring up the mud, as we sank above the knee ut every step. The wntcr hern was still fresh, with only an insipid ami disagreeable taste, probably derived from the bod of fetid mud. Aller proceeding in this wny nhout a mile we enme to a small black rulge on the bottom, beyond which the water became suddenly salt, beginning gradually to deepen, and the bottom wns sandy nnd linn. It wns a remarknblu division, separating the fresh water of ihe rivers from the briny water of the luke, which wns entirely satumtai with common salt. Pushing our little vessel across the narrow boundary, we sprang on board, and were at length alloat on the wutersof the unknown sea. "Wc did not steer for the mountainous islan m, but directed our course towards n lower one, which it had been decided we should lirst visit, ihe summit of which was formed like the crater at (he upper end of Hear river valley. So long ns we could touch the buttiUII with our paddles we were very gay; but , gradually, us the water deeptned, we became more Mill in our frail batteuii of gum cloth distended with air and with pasted scatns. Athongh the day was 1 very calm there was considerable swell on the lake, IM there were white palches of foam on the surface I which were slowly moving to ihe southward, indicating the set of a current in that direction, and re calling the iccollection ot the whirlpool stones. The water continued to deepen as we ndvnnced, the lake becoming nlmost transparently clear, of an extremely beautiful bright green color; nnd the spray, which was thrown into the boat and over our clothes, was directly converted into a crust ol common salt, which covered nlso our hands and nrms. H'aptain,' siid Carson who for some time bail been looking sus piciously at some whitening appearances outside the 1 nearest islands, 'what are those tinner.' won I you just take a look with the glass!-' We ceased pad tiling for a moment, nnd found them to be the caps of the waves that were beginning to brenk under ihe force of a strong breeze that was coming up the lake. 'Die form of the boat seemtd tube an admir able one, nnd it rode on the wnves like a water-bird; 1 but nt the same time it wns extremely slow in its progress. When we were a little mere than half way across the reach two of the divisions between the cylinders gave way, nud it reipnred the consUnt use of the bellows to keep iu a sufficient quantity of air. For a long time we scarcely seemed to approach our island, but gradually we worked across the rougher sea of the open channel into the smoother water under the lee of the island; nnd began to discover that what we tooK for along row of pelicans ranged on the beach wero only low clifts whitened with salt by the spray of the waves; and about noon w c reached the shore, the transparency of the water enabling us to see tlie bottom at a considerable depth. 'lt was a handsome broad bench where we landed, behind which the hill, into which the island was gathered, rose somewhat abruptly; and a point of rock at one end enclosed it in nsneitering wny; and, as there was an abundance of drift wood along the shore, it offered us a pleasant encampment. We did not suffer our fragile hint to touch the sharp rocks; but getting overboard, discharged the baggage, and, lifting it gently out nf the water, carried it to the upper part of the beach, which was composed of very small fragments of rocks." "Carrying with us the barometer and other instruments, in the afternoon we ascended to the highest point of the island a bare rocky peak, eight hundred feet above the lake. Standing on the summit, wc en joyed an extended view of the lake, enclosed in a basin of nigged mountains, which sometimes left marshy rials and extensive bottoms between them and tlie shore, and in other places came directly down into the water with bold and precipitous bluffs. Following with our glasses the irregular shores, we searched for some indications of u commuiiicntion with other bodies of water, or the entrance of other rivers, but the distance wus so great thut we could make OUt nothing with certainty. To the southward, several peninsular mountuins, three Of four thousand feet high, entered the luke, appearing so far as the distance and our position enabled uu to determine, to he connected by flats nnd low ridges with the mountains iu the rear. Although these nre pruba-hy ihe islands usually indicated on maps of this region ns entirely detuched fnun the shore, we have preferred to represent them, iu the small map on the preceding page, precisely ns we were enabled to sketch them on the ground, leaving their more complete delineation for u future survey. The sketch of w hich the scale is nearly sixteen miles to an inch, is introduced only to show clearly the extent of our operations, which, it will be remembered, w ere made when the waters M ere at their lowest stage. At the season of high waters in the spring, it is probable that nil the marshes and low grounds nre overflowed, utitl the surface of the lake considerably grcut-cr. In several pllOSjiwhlch will be indicated to you in the sketch by the absence of the bordering mountains) tbe view was of unlimited extent here and there a rocky islet appearing above the wntcr nt a greet diaUnoetind beyond, every thing was vague and undefined. As wc looked over the vast expanse of water spread out beneath us, and strnined our eyes along the silent shores over which hung so much doubt and uncertainty, nud which were so full of interest to us, I could hardly repress the almost irresistible desire to continue our cxplorution; but the lengthening tmow on thu mountains was a plain indication of the advancing season, and our Irnil linen boat appeared so insecure that I wns unwilling to trust our lives to the uncertainties of the hike. 1 theref re unwillingly resolved to lenninnte our survey here, and remain satisfied for the present wild what we had been able to add to the unknown geography of the region. We felt pleasure also in remembering Ihtt ari were the first who, in the traditionary annuls of the country, had visited the islands, and broken, with the cheerful sound of human voices, the long solitude of the place. From the point where we were standing the ground fell off on every side to the water, giving us u perfect view of the island, which is twelve or thirteen miles in circumference, being simply a rocky hill, on which there is neither water nor trees of nny kind."

In the first disappointment we felt from the dissipation of our dream of the fertile island, 1 called this Diwp-puwtmrni hlnuit. Out of the drit wood, we made ourselves plcns-nnt little lodges, open to the wnter, nnd, after having kindled large fires to excite the wonder of any straggling savage on the lake shores, lay down for the jnvt UUM iu a long journey in perfect security; no MM thinking about Jus nrms. Tho evening wns extremely bright nnd pleasanl; but tho winds rose during lli night, and the waves began to break heavily on the shore, mnking our islnnd tremble.

The Dr. is not absolutely certain that the bill wns mnrked as staled; he, therefore, requests all who possess bills of the denomination of 31()0 on that bank, or who may receive ihem, to examine their marks nnd trace their circulation, in hope that detection may take place.

Those nre the principal points of export, hut there are several others, some in Ohio and others beyond, which send olf considerable Wool annually, that have failed to note it. The quantity that went Baft through tho Wellnnd canal last year, was 30,000 lea. The canal export from Oswego in 1844 was 187,204 lbs. against 78,720 lbs. in 1843. The amount plaeed opposite to Cleveland is perhaps below the actual quantity shipped, as it is known that a very considerable portion of tho woo exported from that ploce is uiude up of fleeces brought ill by farmer, nnd such as is taken from the pelts tbero, by manufacturers. The figures nbove represent tho quantity arriving by canal there : 1,000,006 Iba. would perhaps approximate to the real amount exported from Cleveland last season, and 500,000 lbs. in 1843 with 250,000 lbs. for 4842. In analyzing the movements of this commodity, there are but three points lo which attention ia directed, where the clip of foreign Statea enter in competition with the product of this State, viz: Whitehall, Oswego, and this place. The extent of shipmenls from these points for the pnst thrco years, exhibits the nuiiexcd mnrked increase : 1842. 184a 1844.

This vase was presented to the British Museum, nnd was opened in tho presence of several antiquarians; but it contained only a smnll quantity of dust nnd a few seeds, among winch were pens, vetches, nnd wheat. Three of tho pens were presented 1 1 Air. (irimstonc, by T. J. I'et-ligrcw, who kept the pens by him until 1844 when, having purchnscd the Uerbary at Ilighgnte, lie set them iu a pot of composite. The pea soon sprang from its three thousand yenr old trance inlo vegetable life, but yellow, as if it had been jaundiced wiOl n diseased liver. This yellow nppcarancc, arose no doubt, from its being conduct! in a hot frame. When it Iih.I attained sufficient height, it was carefully transplanted into the open garden ; the stock thrived, blosfnnie.l, and, in August last, Mr. (Irimstonc harvested lifly-five seeds frem its pods. These fifty-five peas have been planted Ibis yenr, and all of them have thrown up their stems, their blossoma and their pods, nnd again give hope for nn abundant incrensc. This iea has many peculiarities, one of which is, that the pod projects through the blossom, leaving the latter behind it, while the generality of peas push, or rather carry olf the blossom at the tip of their pods. Mr. Griinstono waa offered, last year. twenty pounds for twenty of thcae peas, which ho reluse.l to accept, prelernng rainer lo multiply man sell. The bloom of this pea is while and of a bell form; that of our pea having wings eomcthing liko those of a butterfly. A visit to Mr. Grimstone'a bcrbary to soe this production from the antiquated Egyptian grandfather pea is well worth the trouble. It is said that the river Oregon derives its nnmo from ortgwno, a Spanish word, signifying pennyroyal, which grows ingrent abundnnce on the banks. As nature never acts without design, it is altogether proper to assume that her design in covering tho banks of the Oregon with pennyroyal was to afford to iersons, who might be so indiscreet as to take up their residence in that pnrt of Ihe world, a cure for the bitei of gnats, musquitoea, Il ml gnllintppers, to which they will be eminently liable. ton.
